II श्रीरंम जय राम जय जय राम II

हारपल्याची नका चित्ति I
धरु खंती वायांच II
पावले ते म्हणा देवा I
सहज सेवा या नांव II
होणार ते भोगे घड़े I
लाभ जोड़े संकल्पे II
तुका म्हणे मोकळे मन I
अवघे पुण्य या नांवे II

"It is said that "Things change in the blink of an eye. Everything happens for reason, but GOD only knows why."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, what happens to us in this life is not solely the result of our actions of this life but due to the cumulative result of our actions of the past lives. He says, everything is predetermined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control.
You can will what you want, but you can't will what you will. However if everything is done assuming that not you, but only GOD is the Doer then you remain detached from its effects, good or bad. In a way the incessant accumulation in the storehouse of Sanchit Karma gets aborted at least for time being. It then becomes a win win situation.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, we often regret when something precious to us is lost. However if we assume that we have offered that precious thing to GOD then there is no regret and to have no regret is to be free of "I -ness" at least infinitesimally which is so vital to knock on the door of Self Realisation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, our True Nature is like a blue sky. When we know who we really are, the clouds of ignorance and all negative emotions dissipate promptly. What remains is Pure Unblemished Self, our capacity for Divinity and Transcendence."
